Re:, a 55 year old woman scientist, has lived in 12 years' land, and 300 acres of botanical gardens have been built in the desert hinterland.
in the middle of the night to catch the rabbit, 300 mu botanical garden final molding
evergreen into the desert work in the second year of the daughter was born, but only in winter can she go back to accompany her daughter, usually depend on her husband. When she was young, every spring she wanted to leave home, her daughter always dragged her clothes and weep. Every year from March to November, she spent in the desert. "My daughter is 25 years old now, but every time I think about it, I still feel sad and want to cry." Evergreen said.
life difficult evergreen didn't care much about it. At that time, she thought of putting herself into nursery nursery construction. In the first two years, evergreen and colleagues first introduced the most common plants of the desert, such as the Chinese date, red willow and so on. First, wind sand was fixed to form the foundation for other plants. She said that there is a lack of nutrients in the sand, the water in the water is high, the dry hot wind, the sandstorm is frequent and the sand surface is very fluidity, even if the plants are growing more rare here than in other places.
sometimes, it took half a month to plant plants, a dust storm hit, most of the plants turned down, and some even had been blown out of the shadow, only to hurry up. At the same time, the seedlings of the replant were hard to survive, and the hare was gnawed down by the hare overnight. Watching himself dying of a tree with sweat and sweat in the sun, evergreen always has a bad sleep. "We take care of every tree as our own child, and we have paid too much sweat for them to survive." She said that in those years, people often took turns to catch up with the hare in the middle of the night.
2002, botanical garden 300 mu scale basically formed. Over the years, evergreen and colleagues have introduced more than 10 plants each year to supplement plant species in nursery. These plants were introduced from Turpan botanical garden, North and south of Tianshan, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai and Africa.
now, there are more than 240 plants growing in the botanical garden, which she and her colleagues have selected out of the nearly 600 kinds of plants that have been introduced over the past 20 years. "These plants are tolerant to salinity, drought and heat, and are suitable for desert environments."
planting protective forest, she had a
in the desert. Since entering the desert, she wore the work clothes of the oil field workers all the year old, and she had no more white skin. "I am not beautiful and not important. I will be satisfied with the beauty of my tree." She said with a smile. In the years of
2003, the construction of Desert Highway Shelterbelt was launched. Before that, evergreen and colleagues conducted 5 studies in this regard for three times. In addition to planting and breeding in the experimental base, they also planted 1.2 km and 30.8 km of shelterbelt trial forests along the desert highway. More than 60 species of plants were selected for screening. She and his colleagues finally determined that the salinity of desert highway irrigation water is most suitable for the growth of Haloxylon ammodendron, Tamarix chinensis and arbor.
in recent years, evergreen has focused on cultivating more ornamental desert plants. She said that turbot, Tamarix chinensis and Haloxylon ammodendron play a role in stabilizing sand on both sides of the desert highway. In fact, they can also grow some trees and herbaceous plants. What she wants to do is to cultivate plants that are "high in beauty" and suitable for the growth of the desert, and grow through various plants to make the Shelterbelts look "pleasing to the eyes." At present, she and her colleagues have already applied part of their research, including Nitraria, red salvia, halophyte and so on. "When driving on this lonesome road, the driver can at least be in a good mood and less tired driving." Evergreen said.
evergreen and colleagues' research results are not only used in desert highway shelterbelts, but also in Karamay, Lunnan and other places. This year, she and her colleagues are committed to the promotion of research results to the Central Asia and some African countries, to carry out the prevention and control of desertification with the cooperation, to provide technical support for the construction of The Belt and Road ".
the hard work in the eyes of outsiders is a pleasure for evergreen. These days, she is busy observing the growth of various plants in the botanical garden to understand how the new species of trees introduced in the last year are suitable for the environment. So many years later, like her own nursery, she took root in the desert and couldn't leave. "I have to work here for 5 years, until I retire." She said that in the desert for so many years, her sentiment is like a slogan on a tree beside the desert road, only a desolate desert, without a desolate life.
